If $ were no object would you???
Permalink  

They were talking about this on the radio this morning:

If money were no object, would you get plastic surgery? And then if yes what? Me no way! I want to go in the ground with what God gave me! I am by no means perfect, but I don't believe that changing your physical appearance would really make a difference in whom I am.

I would if I needed it for medical purposes only. A few years ago I remember reading some guy died after complications from a penile implant. Why? I'll leave it at that.

The only thing I would ever get done is my ears, they stick out a bit, but It's not a major issue for me or anything but if I had the cash I might get them done.

no!


But here's something you might find interesting. I remember my mom, when I was a kid, tried this out.


Lay down flat on your back (no pillow) and hold a mirror up to your face. This is what your face would look like if you got a face-lift. Lol its freaky- I just went and tried this out and yea I look 10 yrs younger!


still no to the face lift tho!

I think seeing folks like Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers absolutely should turn people off from ever doing plastic surgery. 


The only time I've ever seen it used for a good reason was this guy who had lost 300 some odd lbs, and had all of this extra skin hanging there.  He had a tummy tuck to get rid of the excess, which made a load of difference.  That I can see being ok, but everything else- LAME.

If we're talking cosmetic surgery in general, I'd get laser eye corrective surgery.  My vision is so bad that without my contacts everything is just blurs of color.


In addition to that, I might get a breast reduction and/or a lift.  I'm not freakishly big, but it would be nice to be able to find a bra that fits right, I'm just not proportioned well.

After watching a documentary on TLC last night about Johnny Kennedy who was a 36 year old Englishmen with a rare disease that he has had since birth, I would never consider it myself seeing the agony he went thru. His condition caused his skin to fall off. He was nothing but bandages and soars. Someone living like this wishing they could have any sense of normal skin and we have people so infatuated with beauty they spend  1000's of dollars to fix there little imperfections. It doesn't make sense to me!

There's a difference here too.  If I was offered free cosmetic surgery, I'd go with the things I listed before, but they're more for comfort than they are for beauty.  If I had enough money to get cosmetic surgery, I would probably end up spending it on something else.  There's other things that are more valuable to me.

Would you sink a pile of cash into an automobile that was going to rust out if you knew someone was going to give you a brand new (insert favorite car  here) that would never depreciate?  I'm going to do the best I can to take care of this frame, it's a gift from God.  But when it goes, I get a new one and it will be perfect.  Same with everyone else.  Keep the plastic surgery for repairs, not upgrades.

I'm sorry...every one here is taking the high road, with just a little nip here, or a smidgin' tuck there....


I just can't do that...If money were no object...I'd want the works....I've always been unhappy hith what I've been given...sure, maybe it's a deep underlying sense of low self esteem & only something I can fix, But I don't like my body....


....I don't want to go into details here...for some of you out there in cyberland may have a mental image of me that is MORE attaractive than what I really am I & I don't want to bust That illusion, But if there was a male version of "The Swan" I'd be submitting a couple hundred applications....


again...I'm sure others think I exaggerate...like they say you are your own worst critic, but to use an old 80's ugly duckling cliche....if you took off my glasses & let down my hair(figuratively) I wouldn't exactly go from geek to Prom queen (again figuratively)...I'd still pretty much look the part of the geek

there is no match for inner beauty. this is developed with age, and as irony would have it, when one is physically past their prime.


One of the prettiest girls I had ever seen had a foul mouth that made her not pretty.

But JD it works the other way too...sure you can be beautiful but foul inside & you become unattractive...


But when you're young & physically un-attractive...it doesn't matter how good a person you are on the inside...no one will even give you the chance to get to know you.

Man, Mo- sorry if you are feeling down. If it's any sort of consolation to know that I can empathize in a way, I was always the short and skinny kid picked last for sports. And then, done so begrudgingly. Probably would be so too today if I played sports. I got bloodied trying to play any sport. Mocked. That does 0 for one's self-confidence. I just think it took a lot of time to come to an inner peace based on nobody's opinion but my own, and from that I grew.


In fact, when I was down, I drew a lot of strength from watching Al Pacino movies. I wasn't a big fan of Scarface, but his other movies- here's this 5'2" tall bad-ass that didn't let height determine anything about him.


I don't know where I am going with this, it might be a bit too personal- I feel bad when people are down on themselves. I've been there for my own reasons, and can attest that there is a time when acceptance comes, and you can move on from there.

Thank you Mo for being realistic.


I think I might have been more like those guys when I lived in the midwest but being in the plastic surgery cap. of the US I have actually looked into it.  I'm not saying what - it's embarassing!

You'd hate the humidity and all wuss out around Oct/Nov when hurricane season gets big.  But hey if you end up moving here, be sure and give me a call.

Thats a good question, I would like to have, breast reduction, tummy tuck (after little A) and maybe a nose job. I would probably chicken out, I am a big wimp with pain.  The breast reduction would be purely to be able to buy a swimsuit/clothes that fit well, Tummy tuck would be laziness and not wanting to do ab workouts. Nose job just because it looks just like my dads, not bad I just feel like his mini me at times.

I've thought about a nose job because I think mine is too big, but then I still may look funny because I have a lot of big features so the one I have probably fits. I definitely want corrective eye surgery! I'm so tired of being blind. I don't enjoy as much because of it. I don't think that I would have any major plastic surgery because I've watched Nip/Tuck and other shows and just don't think that I could go through it. I would feel hideous during the healing process. But I do agree with having it for medical reasons or if you lost alot of weight.


I would definitely take a personal trainer though!

at this moment in my life, i don't think i would have plastic surgery to alter my appearance.  i have never even colored my hair!  i'm starting to show a lot of grey, but i'm actually happy with it (right now).  i feel as though it's a right of passage.  i am definately overweight, but i wouldn't spend money on surgery to fix it.  knowing me, the sugar and carb addict that i am, it would be in vain.  what can i say... i like to eat.


i would eventually like to have my eyes fixed so i don't have to wear glasses.
